Polar Bears Could Die Out by the End of the CenturyThe heating of Earth is pushing the number of polar bears to get smaller and smaller. According to a new study,
they could die out in fewer than 100 years.
Polar bears are animals which live by eating sea seals in the Arctic Ocean. As more and more sea ice melts (融
化), their living places become to shrink. The loss (丧失) of sea ice began to be paid more attention at the end of
the 1970s. Since then, sea ice that lasts for more than a year in the Arctic has decreased at a rate of 13% per decade.
Studies have long shown that the growing loss of sea ice will lead to a dangerous situation for polar bears, but
the new research shown in Nature Climate Change has given us a clear dying out timeline. Polar bears will be unable
to live because of the climate (气候) change over the next several decades (十年). The scientists believe they will
completely die out by 2100.
“What we’ve found out is that, first, it will be very difficult for cubs (幼崽) to be born and live. Even if cubs are
born, the mother polar bears won’t have enough body fat (脂肪) to produce milk to bring them along through the
ice-free season.” said Dr. Steven Amstrup, a scientist of Polar Bears International, to the BBC. “Any of us knows that
we can’t go without food for a long time. That’s a natural need for all humans and animals.”
The research also shows that, even in a situation where many countries have done a lot of work to save polar
bears, several populations (族群) of polar bears will die out. But Amstrup strongly believes that the animals can still
do whatever they can do to live if the climate change does not go on getting worse.
“We must show how dangerous the situation is, because we have to do something now to stop the worst of
future problems.” He said. “The way we’re on now is not good enough, but if society can do something together, we
will have time to save polar bears. And if we do, we will do great good to other lives on Earth, and to ourselves
too.”
28. The word “shrink” in Paragraph 2 probably means “__________”.
A. get bigger B. get lighter C. get smaller D. get heavier
29. According to the passage, polar bears will probably die out because _________.
.
A sea seals in the Arctic Ocean don’t have enough body fat
B. sea ice becomes less because of the climate changeC. the new research has given a dying out timeline
D. fewer animal scientists pay attention to them
30. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Why cubs are hard to be born and live in ice-free season.
B. Why humans and animals can’t live through without food.
C. Why mother polar bears can’t produce enough milk for cubs.
D. Why Dr. Steven Amstrup does the research about polar bears.
31. What is Dr. Steven Amstrup’s opinion (观点) on what many countries have done?
A. What they have done works well, so polar bears will not die out.
B. What they have done doesn’t do any good, so they need to change.
C. What they have done is useful but not enough, so they need to do more.
D. What they have done makes things worse, so polar bears will die out soon.
四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。(共 10 分，每小题 2 分)
Traveling to another country is exciting and fun. But if you don’t learn about local traditions, your trip may
get into trouble. To help stop things like that, I list some cultural taboos (禁忌) in several countries. Let’s take a
look and then you can have a great trip there.
Mexico
In Mexico, bringing an expensive gift to someone’s home is a no-no. It could be seen as a bribe (贿赂). For
local people, some simple things like flowers are good gifts. But you shouldn’t take along red flowers, because in
Mexican culture, they symbolize death and can be connected with witchcraft (巫术).
The US
Americans have a tradition of tipping (给小费). You can tip waiters, taxi drivers, hotel doormen…nearly
anyone with a service job.
Pay attention when you talk with Americans. Questions like “How old are you?” may be common between
friends. But as tourists in the US, it is not polite to ask people’s age.
Britain
British people are known for queuing (排队). From the supermarket to the underground, queues are very
common in Britain. Usually, it takes a British person six months of their life in queues. If you jump the queue in
Britain, you may make them angry.
Japan
You should never wear shoes indoors in Japan. When visiting someone’s home, it is rude to enter with shoes
on. Shoes should be taken off at the door and replaced with indoor slippers (拖鞋). This is also the same when youtry clothes on in a clothes shop. You should take off your shoes before going into the fitting room (试衣间). There
are indoor shoes prepared for customers inside.
